This t-shirt features a RED ARMY (Manchester United) football/soccer firm logo. Partially inspired by the films/dvds Green Street (Hooligans), the Football Factory, and the Firm. This is NOT a Manchester United club tee, it is a supporter tee.
The front image features a revamped Man U logo with a balaclava/ski-mask in the middle
The back of the tee says "United" with a pitchfork used as the "I".
Here is a little blurb on the Red Army Football Firm courtesy Wikipedia:
The
Red Army are a UK football hooligan firm affiliated to Manchester
United which some believe to have the greatest reputation of all the
football hooligan firms. They
have had a long standing rivalry with the Inter City Firm (ICF) who
follow West Ham United (This is the actual firm the GSE in Green Street
Hooligans is based on). The Red Army were featured in the 1985
documentary 'Hooligan' which was
based around West Ham's trip to Old Trafford in the FA Cup 6th Round
and shows The Red Army fighting with the ICF around Manchester. They
were one of a few firms which had a fearsome reputation in the 1970s
and 80s.
The most famous member of the The Red Army was Tony O'Neill, who led
the firm in the late 1970s until around 2001 when he was banned from
football grounds. O'Neill has since released two books about the firm, Red Army General in 2004 and The Men in Black
in 2006. The name Men In Black comes from the Red Army wearing all
black to matches, most notably in one match at Upton Park where they
ambushed West Ham fans while wearing balaclavas/ski-masks.
Some Manchester
United players Red Army followers support(ed) are: Ronaldo, Beckham,
Van Der Sar, Neville, Rooney, Scholes, Hargreaves, Evra, Saha,
Anderson, Ferdinand, Park, Giggs, Foster, Vidic, O'Shea, Pique, Nani,
Brown, Sir Bobby Charlton, Roy Keane, Brian McClair, Jack Rowley,
George Best (champions league english/england
premiership)
DETAILS:
T-shirt brand: American Apparel (100% combed cotton* - softer, more fitting)
*What is combed cotton you ask? Combed cotton is an extremely soft version of cotton made by specially treating the cotton fibers before they are spun into yarn. As a general rule, combed cotton is slightly more expensive than conventional cotton.
The extremely soft, strong material is ideal for clothing which will be
worn against the skin. Basically it is lighter and more comfortable.
Larger tees, 3XL and up, only available in standard cotton Gildan/Alstyle tees. Sizes XXL and up are a few dollars more.
The American Apparel tees will shrink in the wash so if you like how it fits I
suggest you use cold water to wash and avoid putting the item in the
dryer.
The color may appear slightly different in person due to the camera.
